CPD had its second Retreat on 10-12 January 2012 at BRAC CDM, Savar, Dhaka. CPD staff along with their family members joined this 2-day event. The Retreat was planned to be held in two parts – Strategic Planning Meeting and a get together of the extended CPD family.
The major objectives of the Strategic Planning Meeting were to reflect and brainstorm on how to further strengthen CPD’s institutional capacity in all areas of activities through exchange of views and thoughts. Under the leadership of Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, a designated team of CPD staff comprising from all three divisions – Research, Dialogue and Communication and Administration and Finance – conducted the exercise.
Recommendations emanating from the exercise were presented and discussed at a meeting during the Retreat where all CPD colleagues were present with Professor Rehman Sobhan in the chair.
During the Retreat CPD colleagues and their families had an opportunity to spend time together and interact in an informal setting.
